Mundine 12/02/09 - "I am the best in the world"

[Dizaster]

Just saw him on the news after his win over Shannon Taylor...

Quote :

"I am ready for the best in the world".. "I AM the best in the world"..

I'm wondering if he still believes this.. I'm wondering if he thinks there are still Australians, schooled in boxing or otherwise, who believes this?

One kind of plus is that he's "eyeing off the belt of Felix Sturm" and is considering going to Germany... I rate this fight higher than his last 7 or 8, but eyeing it off is another thing to signing and jumping on a plane over there... However just after that they mentioned Green is coming out of retirement for another crack at Mundine... On past evidence, Mundine will surely take the Green fight and not bother with Sturm... If he goes and beats Felix, he would have a case for a fight in the US, but I have hoped and practically prayed that he'd seek and take a fight with a US fighter and bring himself seriously into the game, but his choice of fights has been so much more than just a let down giving his tallent and potential... Every time he fights or announces a fight, I just feel let down and dissapointed.. And i'm almost 100% i'll be dissapointed with his next scheduled fight..

Like, it might well be the case that he's tried his ass off for months to get a decent respected fighter to get in the ring with him, and just no one wants a piece at all, in which case i'd have empathy and would support him in whatever fights he gets.... But i'm not sure that is the case,,, and even if it is, to still continue declaring your the best in the world is just old and tiresom...
Hell, i'd actually rather him wave a handful of notes about and say how much money he made from his last fight.. At least it would have an ounce of truth or reality to it..

That is all...

Agree with everything you've said mate.

Total waste of talent.

Two words - knob jockey.

Mundine gets overlooked all the time in america and europe.

He really should considering doing what katsidis has done and getting himself over to the US before its too late!!

Youve really got to feal for the Aussies at the mo

Having to deal with arsonists and now this embarrasing little cuunt

Fuck me, Shannon Taylor has been cannon fodder since Mosely beat him, he did make Abraham struggle a little, I watched that one, also remember seeing Richard Williams doing everything he wanted and stopping him 8 years ago

Mundine got wiped out by Ottke, if your world class that doesnt happen

[Master]

A fight with Katsidis should be his next ppv fight.

Mundine was kind of funny on the news though, as they played a replay of a bunch of the horrible low blows that Taylor landed on him throughout the fight..

He's like "yeah, not sure what will happen if I want to have kids now.. He did a bit of damage down there"...

Anyway, I want to support him I really do, but I just want to see him make the most of his potential whatever it is.. If he comes up short, he went down fighting..

After that, we just gotta wait for the next Kostya
